XBMCbuntu freezes at random intervalsThank you for your help! As previously stated I attempted to set the suspected bad RAM in a different slot, memtest did not have errors any longer, I believe this is because the slot has gone bad but only time will tell.

XBMCbuntu freezes at random intervalsRan Memtest86+ and unfortunately I should've started this first, I switched my configuration to individual reports and it started producing errors, I took out one stick of RAM and voila no more errors are being produced, I'm trying another slot to diagnose a bigger motherboard issue, if that pans out then I'll be happy otherwise It's off to amazon. Do you know of where to get the cheapest RAM.

Is there a way to shove kernel-panic to the screen?@MartinvonWittich $ and not the linux verison. I dont have the monetary resources to replace the hardware, so I'm attempting to salvage what I can. And I haven't tried a different kernel yet. Also, I like to tinker with my system. Besides the fact that fixing the correct hardware would be nice to know, process of elimination and that.

Is there a way to shove kernel-panic to the screen?I upvoted this answer because it will be helpful as I'm not sure if it is a bona fide Kernel Panic, I assume it is because no matter of mouse manipulation or keyboard smashing will resurrect the system. Again, to reiterate, even if this does not turn out to rectify the issue it is helpful to me regardless thus he receives my upvote. Thank you @terdon.

XBMCbuntu freezes at random intervalsThe fans were still running and but the HDDs showed no activity but were still spinning. It was as if the hibernate function initiated but never completed. Little side-note, it freezes without the screensaver as well.
